Wisdom Nugget: "...self sacrifice is never entirely unselfish, for the giver never fails to receive."

Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
During the summer, a clergyman went to see a florists fine collection of roses:—there were white
roses, red roses, yellow roses, climbing roses, and roses in pots, the
colourful giant of battles and the modest moss rose—every species he had ever
heard of, were there in rich profusion. The lady began plucking, right and
left. Some bushes with but a single flower she plundered. The clergyman
remonstrated. "You are robbing yourself, dear madam." "Oh, no!
Do you not know that the way to make a rosebush abundantly produce healthy
roses is to pluck its flowers freely? I lose nothing by what I give away,"
she explained.
We never lose anything by
what we give away. Here is an investment that always guarantees a return.
Visit a friend later in the day. Spend time with your family. Always find opportunities to give. Give generously and freely, it is sure to
produce a harvest of returns.
As a sage said, “self sacrifice is never
entirely unselfish, for the giver never fails to receive”
